RSS Pe1517 Received Signal Source Pestilent Sector 1517.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

An anomalous signal originating from a binary system centered on a yellow main sequence star. The signal is infrequent, unmodulated, and in the 1-2 GHz range.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

RSS Pe1517 was detected by the University of Tal Varisa Deep Sky Program. It became public knowledge following publication of the "Where The Stars End" Astrographic Survey in 5550AD. The signal may be being transmitted by a currently unknown advanced sophont NIL or it may simply be a natural phenomenon.

If the signal does originate from a sophont source, a number of different explanations regarding its meaning have been proposed:

  1. It is an indicator of the presence of the League of Asclepius.
  2. A Voyager Beacon, emplaced by the Slavers.
  3. A gravestone or memorial. The final marker of a dead civilization.
  4. The originators of the signal are very different to other sophonts, perhaps dangerously so.
  5. Oblivious. The originators of the signal are unaware of the existence of other sophonts or simply don't care.
  6. Internal Communications. The signal is not intended for outsiders.
  7. Assist Us. A cry for help, though it is probably already too late.
  8. Stay Away.
  9. We're Coming.
  10. Curious. The originators of the signal want to communicate.
  11. A warning to others about a significant threat or danger.
